    user account not deleted


    I followed the steps you provided to delete a user account and it is still showing up when I attempt to log on. I even restarted the computer, thinking that was what was needed, but there it is still! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Mitzi, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Double check using the tutorial below to see if one of the options may help delete the user account.

    What's the name of the user account listed at log in?

    Is the user account still listed in the areas in the tutorial?

    Ok, time for surgery then. I would recommend to create a restore point before continuing to be safe. This way if you make a mistake, you can do a system restore and select to go back to this restore point.


    Use the tutorial below as a guideline by going to the same registry location and doing the same steps, but look for this deleted account in ProfileImagePath in the long S-1-5-xx subkeys instead. If you find it, then delete it's S-1-5-xx subkey.

    Be sure that you DO NOT delete any S-1-5-xx subkeys for user accounts that you did not delete (ex: your account), and the ones in step 7A.
